Something I played with

Just wanted to share some art with you. I might make it bigger so users can have it as wallpaper if you'd like it.

a lot of effort? It's a photoshop filter and a copy & paste of rims...a 2 second job.

Actually that grafic is from that web page that got posted a few days ago for checking out wheels. modmycar.com or something like that. So he used a Photoshop filter, and pasted the car gfx off someplace else with the wheels already :D

The name Ghetto performance comes from me and a groups of friends that have fast cars but dont have a tuning shop. We do it all ourselves in a factory of which a friends company is run. It feels ghetto working in a factory to all hours in the morning, hence the name.

It was a bit of fun..

That would be one poor performing suspension.....and the colors are way too dull for such a bright car. Way not my style.

i'm having epileptic seisures from that image that has been burned into my retinas...please, take some photoshop lessons...

sarcasm aside, that's still pretty horrible...i wouldn't go around showing that to people...not to say i'm any better at photoshop but i just wouldn't draw a line on a piece of paper and ask people what they thought of it...

Totally agree, but in the circles that Kas runs it probably goes over pretty good. I guess it's eye of the beholder, but sure looks crappy to me. the whole ghetto-theme disrespects a beautiful car. But i guess that's his God-given right.

I like the color scheme of the picture as a whole. The restrained yellow in the background works well with the more vocal yellow graphics on the car.

Composition wouldn't be bad if you got rid of the huge black letters on the top right - they take away far to much attention for what they say.

As far as the vehicle, the rims look like they have a flat spot at the bottom, which is very distracting to me. The wheels also don't look like they'd actually fit in the vehicle and appear a bit off center (too high) from the axles. Perhaps some of this is due to shrinking the image.

I think the use of grey fits in well with your description of working on the car in an unused factory at night. Sounds like fun.

Hey RX8Lover. You've often recommended changes to other people's efforts at visual creation but as yet we've seen none of your own work. Are you just a critic or do you comment from a postion of strength? Why not show us what you can do so that we can learn from it.
